Report an error

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is an American Democratic politician and the 32nd President of the United States. He is a Dutch-American and a member of the Roosevelt family of New York City. He was one of the central figures in the economic crisis and World War II in the United States from the 1920s to the 1930s. From 1933 to 1945, he served four consecutive terms as President of the United States and was the only U.S. President to serve more than two consecutive terms. Franklin Roosevelt's distant brother Theodore Roosevelt (Roosevelt Sr.) also served as the President of the United States (the 26th), so Franklin Roosevelt is often called "Roosevelt Jr." in the Chinese world.
